To protect your front teeth from developing tiny cracks in the enamel, it’s better not to immediately switch from consuming something ice cold to consuming something really hot or vice versa otherwise you will run the risk of little cracks forming in your perfect front teeth.

Do some research on these things beforehand in order to make an intelligent choice, insuring you are getting the best deal.

Many times, a salesman or business owner will try to persuade you into buying one item rather than another, simply because his commission will be higher or his profit will be better, so you can’t completely rely on a sales person’s advice no matter how sincere they may seem to be.

Immediately get up, get a cup of water and offer it to this person to help him or her clear their throat.

Better yet, always have a glass of water available in front of each person at the table. A gulp of water can make all the difference in the world when someone is choking.

Swallowing water actually can cure a choking situation. Of course, if that doesn’t work, knowing how to administer the Heimlich Method, dislodging food stuck in the throat, can literally save someone’s life. They will be very grateful to you if something like this should happen.

Is there a teenager in your life, trying to frustrate you with attitude by answering everything you say with “So?”

“It sure is a beautiful day,” you might say.

“So?”

“I’m going to the store,” you might add.

“So?”

This type of thing can go on and on, ad nauseam.

At first, his or her totally unexpected two-letter curt comment can be disarming, blowing you out of the water. And since just about any sentence or comment can be trivialized with “So?”, to deal with this ornery teenager, I recommend either answering “So?” with “So!” or simply laughing out loud to disarm him. I did and it worked.

If so, don’t trust this navigational tool completely. Study a map first, verifying the correct route to your destination, then confirm your route with the GPS just to be sure that GPS is correct and that you’ll get where you want to go.

Unfortunately, many times a GPS has proven to be incorrect, sending travelers way off course where they end up lost in the desolate middle of nowhere, out of gasoline, food and water. It’s one thing to find yourself in the wrong place but still within a civilized area, but it’s another thing to end up dead wrong when your life depended upon a GPS guiding you to where you safely wanted to go.

At this disturbing point in time, with sexual harassment taking place everywhere including schools and sanctimonious churches, I recommend reading my book entitled, “WOMEN OF CITY HALL” which specifically addresses workplace sexual harassment.

“WOMEN OF CITY HALL,” based on a true story, is an eye-opening expose documenting unwanted sexual advances, predatory behavior and sexual misconduct toward women AND toward men in what supposedly should be a staid, professional and safe office environment.

No one should have to suffer in an abusive, hostile work environment.

“WOMEN OF CITY HALL” helps define what abuse is for naïve young women and young men just beginning their careers. It’s better to be informed as to what is going on in this day and age rather than not know anything and becoming a victim.
